Murray’s “Homework Clause”, Watson Suspended 6 Games, Deebo Contract Extension, Legendary Bill Russell Passes Away

FOOTBALL

Kyler Murray signed a massive $230.5 million contract extension last week to stay with the Arizona Cardinals. News then leaked that the contact had conditions requiring Murray to commit to four hours per week of “independent study” while also requiring him to refrain from watching TV or playing video games while studying. The contract raised all sorts of questions about the team not trusting Murray to adequately prepare before games and for (according to Murray) “doubting his preparation and maturity.” After much backlash, the team removed the “homework clause” from his contract.

The Cleveland Browns traded for Deshaun Watson last March giving him the largest contract in NFL history ($230 million dollars), but now he’s been suspended for six games after being sued by 24 women who accused him of sexual misconduct while giving him massages.

San Francisco 49er wide receiver Deebo Samuel agreed to a 3-year extension for up to $73.5 million with $58.1 million guaranteed.

Trae Young Sprained Ankle, Middleton Propels Bucks, Suns Take 3-1 Lead, Controversy Over Kidd/Billups

BASKETBALL

Atlanta Hawks Trae Young sprained his ankle in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Late in the third quarter Young stepped on a referees foot and didn’t look  the same the rest of the game. He said his ankle is still sore and unsure how he he’ll feel for Game 4 on Tuesday night. Khris Middleton was the star of the game for the Bucks scoring 20 of his career high 38 points in the fourth quarter to help the Bucks go up 2-1 in the series.

In the Western Conference finals, the Phoenix Suns took a 3-1 series lead over the LA Clippers. The Clippers will try and avoid elimination on Monday in Game 5.

In other NBA news, there’s been some controversy over the recent reports that the Dallas Mavericks plan to hire Jason Kidd to be their next head coach, and the Portland Trail Blazers intend to hire Chauncey Billups. Both coaches have checkered pasts, with Kidd pleading guilty to spousal abuse in 2001, and Billups accused (but never charged) with rape in an incident in 1997.

Brady’s Lackluster Debut, Cam Newton Solid, McCarthy’s Field Goal Decision, Tuscaloosa HS Historic Game Ending

FOOTBALL

Here are a few recaps from the first weekend of NFL games:

Tom Brady’s much-anticipated debut as the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did not go smoothly. He threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns but was also intercepted twice. The Bucs lost to the New Orleans Saints 23-34.

Cam Newton, Brady’s replacement as QB of the New England Patriots, had a solid debut with his new team. With his two rushing touchdowns, he helped the Pats beat the Miami Dolphins 21-11. There was a bit of skirmish at the end of the game when some Miami players tried to grab his chains, but Cam told reporters, “I still got my chain. I got two of ’em. They were reaching for my chain, though. They were reaching for my chain. And I think that kind of got under my skin. But yeah, through it all, man listen — I do not want nothing to be taken away from a great team game that we did have. And I don’t want to be selfish to kind of focus or dwell on that. I think for us as a team, or me personally — a lot of tempers can flare. And I was just teasing with coach, just letting him know that the College Park almost came out in me. Yet, through it all, man, it was all fun and games; and it was expected.”

Dallas Cowboys’ new coach Mike McCarthy is getting some heat for his controversial decision not to tie the game with a field goal in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys ended up losing to the Los Angeles Rams 17-20.

In high school football over the weekend, Tuscaloosa’s Hillcrest High School pulled off an amazing upset against Wetumpka. Hillcrest was down two points with 59 yards to go to the opponent’s end zone. With nine laterals on the final play, the game was reminiscent of the infamous 1982 Standford-Cal game. Check this out!
